Description

Reader's Guides provide a comprehensive starting point for any advanced student, giving an overview of the context, criticism and influence of key works.

Each guide also offers students fresh critical insights and provides a practical introduction to close reading and to analysing literary language and form.

They provide up-to-date, authoritative but accessible guides to the most commonly studied classic texts.

The Great Gatsby (1925) is a classic of modern American literature and is often seen as the quintessential novel of 'the jazz age'.

This is the ideal guide to the text, setting The Great Gatsby in its historical, intellectual and cultural contexts, offering analyses of its themes, style and structure, providing exemplary close readings, presenting an up-to-date account of its critical reception and examining its afterlife in literature, film and popular culture.

It includes points for discussion, suggestions for further study and an annotated guide to relevant reading.
